pest anemones

[sfinley]

what is the best way to rid your tank of them the guy at the store said peppermint shrimp or a copperband

aiptasia? I got 2 peppermints when I started seeing some aiptaisa pop up and they took them all down within a couple weeks. They're a great addition to any reef tank regardless of your aiptasia situation

joes juice works pretty good

If its a reef tank peppermints can work(50/50 chance), a copperband butterfly, but make sure its eating before you purchase it. If you dont have coral try a kleins buterfly(not reef safe), they are aiptasia eating fools.

When I help people with pest anemones I always tell them to take an unused eyelash liner brush and take and make the anemone grab ahold of the brush and than pull back really fast the anemones will generally relese.
